>(CNN)Protests that rocked the Venezuelan capital over the weekend are the latest signs of a simmering crisis that's threatening to boil over in the South American country.
>Rival factions of pro- and anti-government activists took to the streets of Caracas, a day after President Nicolas Maduro declared a "constitutional state of emergency." Maduro said his emergency declaration aimed "to tend to our country and, more importantly, to prepare to denounce, neutralize and overcome the external and foreign aggressions against our country." >He has also called for military exercises to take place next weekend to prepare for "any scenario," including a foreign invasion. >But while some marched in support of the government's push for a "state of constitutional exception and economic emergency," which is expected to extend into July, not all are as patient.
>Anti-government demonstrators accuse Maduro of clinging to power as his country crumbles.
>People throughout the country lack access to food and basic healthcare.
>At times, they can't even turn on the lights -- the government says extreme drought has hampered the country's hydroelectric capabilities.
>There are product shortages; there is raging inflation that has annihilated salaries; and there is rampant violent crime.
>All of this is leading to widespread anger -- culminating in the sort of protests seen over the weekend, as well as the outbursts of looting and violence that are marring this once-stable nation.
>lack of access to food and basic healthcare >can't even turn on the lights >product shortages, raging inflating, and rampant violent crime >post yfw commies say socialism works
I first heard of the 6 day work week, then 60 day state of emergency, then government taking private companies, now this
But yeah, not true Socialism
Blake Gomez
Their president recently called Venezuelan ambassadors in Brazil back to Caracas because we impeached Dilma and he said it was a coup
The ambassador in Brasilia didn't want to go back,but was forced to
Aaron Sullivan
Civil war almost seems inevitable
Carson Bailey
Good, fuck sa commies and lefties, hope this fag gets overthrow soon, so god damn sick of these populists assholes and their supporters. I mean we got a president that is not related to the two people who governed for the past 12 years and we got shitload of annoying retarded morons wanting to overthrow him because the people throwing them breadcrumbs say so
Nicholas Bell
This makes my head spin. Venezuela was a bastion of civilisation I the 80's. Now it's Zimbabwe tier.
It's mind blowing how quickly a country can become a failed state.
Jordan Watson
they will blame you murrica for those disasters.
Chase Howard
can you annex them fellow huehue
Xavier Rivera
RWDS when?
Adrian Turner
Maybe
Maduro said some time ago he'd invade Brazil if we impeached Dilma,we impeached her and our Armed Forces' high officers have been having some meetings behind closed doors lately
I guess they're just waiting for Maduro to make the first move
Charles Bailey
>the official statement includes preparation for a likely foreign invasion
What a crock of shit.
Aaron Thompson
Colombia should invade Venezuela and liberate them from their insane government
Gran Colombia soon
Jacob Bell
This wasn't true socialism. Anymore than the USSR, China, or Cuba was socialist.
Christian Thompson

Robert Wood
nope. Venezuela has always been total shit
Anthony Myers

Camden Jackson
We don't need this shitty country. More mouths to feed. And their oil is useless super heavy.
David Moore
They'll loot what's left of the treasury and flee the country.
If there's any justice in this world all of those involved, including Chavez's family would be hunted down, their billions in wealth seized and they would all be hung.
Alas, they'll probably all get away with it.
Christian Russell
Venezuela had the same GDP per capita as France in the 1960 when it was second world economy. Not to say they were relevant, but Venezuela was a nice enough place to live.
This is pure socialism.
Sebastian Wood
Venezuela had the 4th highest GDP per capita in 1950
This is what happens when Socialism is properly implemented...
Nicholas Garcia
I COME HERE TO FORGET ABOUT THIS SHIT, GODDAMMIT.

Yep. Kill all commies. They are the worst plague ever.

Oh believe, there's no coming back for them and the more lies the government tells, more my anger grows.
Jordan Bailey
Venezuela por q no se van por bote para aca?
Parker Hall
No, thank you. We have been struggling to end our armed conflict and solve our own internal problems, we don't need a full scale war against another country and 30 million more problems to solve.
Ethan Reed
De que parte de venezuela eres? Y una pregunta, e estado pensando en comprar materias basicos como comida, panhales basicamente la mierda con la que estan desabastecidas y meterlo a Venezuela como contrabando? Crees que Es posible entrar por Colombia o Brazil con todo eso?
Gavin Parker
No. The army will take that from you to sell that themselves and put you to jail. Most likely they will use you to show "The evil empire trying to sabotage the country" or some bullshit like that.
Samuel Powell
Estan viniendo aquí. Ya tenemos 100,000 venezolanos
Lincoln Evans
This is the US stirring the pot from within.. they did the same with my father land years ago. This countries exploits in latin america have now become public knowledge to a certain extent. This is no different from that joke called arab spring or those "protests" in Libya before they were ultimately sacked
Andrew Bennett
You're dumb, I get it.

Joshua Nelson
Fugggg Well that plan is out
Jordan White
Barely. My dad works in a supermarket so that helps. But he has to get out after work to trade products with other people.
Chase Cox
They can get it, but only on the black market. The state isn't even trying to slow down the black market at this point.
Without the black market, the entire country would grind to a halt.
What's the point? The currency is constantly devaluing.
Daniel Reed
>YOU A NEET ? WHY NOT WORK? Venezuela has no jobs.
Lincoln Turner
Yeah because fuck capitalism and restocking supplies every week.
Brandon Anderson
Who was restocking shelves during the great depression? lmao
Jonathan Roberts
Based coast guard.
Sebastian Nguyen
Go visit that "democratic utopia" my parents came from and get back to me. See for yourself, maybe pay a visit to a neighboring country and look at the riches being in bed with us has brought them, go ahead and hitchhike you poor motherfucker and meet people who are in even worse shape than you, and with no hope for their country to ever recover. They are owned by foriegners

Study. When the college is actually working of course. I don't give a fuck about your country or anyone else country. I don't because I most likely don't really know enough about them and dare to talk about them would be just bullshit. You should do the same, stupid kid. That stupid conspiracy theory is used for my government to justify all their shit, just as it happens with most governments like this one. So yeah, go give classes to your mother ass. And if USA is so fucking terrible then get out of there you stupid hypocrite fuck.
Christian Walker
But isn't socialism supposed to fix things?

It's good advice.

Matthew Ward
No sean pendejos claro que se puede, eso es literalmente lo que hacen los bachaqueros todo el día todos los días, el problema está en que debes de tener contactos con los militares o te van a joder eventualmente, el paso a Colombia está legalmente cerrado y la única forma de entrar es de manera ilegal usando trochas si tienes suerte puedes pasar sin que te noten, muchos lo hacen sobre todo los revendedores de gasolina que lo hacen a diario.
Tyler Powell
Arepas (can't really translate that to something in english) with cheese, eggs with some bacon and fried plantain with more cheese for breakfast, lunch was rice mixed with chicken, a couple of small chicken meatballs and dinner will be fried plantain with cheese and ham Cum at me Sven
Wyatt Sanchez
By 2012 they were only leaving 15 tons outside of the country.
I'm pretty sure it's all long gone, inside and out.
Angel Collins
There's no "overthrow" here. There's no kids with AK-47 running on the streets not allowing the government to control the country. They fucked the situation economically and they say is a "economic war". Students go out to protest, their best weapon being a rock, they get killed and the government says it's a coup. So yeah, go give that bullshit to someone that is not immune to it. Just as you said, this country is nuts. I will not go to any other country. You have a really good country desu. Take care of it and don't let Sanders or anyone like him get near the White House. He comes from USA. They will not let him pass.
Jace Lopez
Look at this scumbag, it's funny. I bet you're the type who'd sell that patch of land your parents left you for a shiny used piece of shit car.. hopeless. Up here the people traded their land for beads, you'll give it away for promises
Kayden Lopez
Yea you have to stand in lines for 5-10 hours to be able to buy a handful of products like milk, toilet paper and flour, if you have money you can just go to the illegal vendors and buy it from them at 1000 times its normal price Yes I literally said we have to go to the black market to be able to buy toilet paper without having to waste ours of our life in a fucking line. Illegal toilet paper vendors, make it a meme Sup Forums
Liam Hughes
Now you know how we felt.
Jayden Hall

Levi Howard
>also conozco policias que suben fotos de cadaveres de malandros. There is nothing wrong with this.
Jaxon Ramirez
Venezuela has plenty of jobs, literally jobs all around the fucking place, the thing is salary is worth jack shit and you'll make more money by standing in fucking lines for hours to buy products and then resell said products for hundred times its normal price A whole month of salary could be spend in a single small purchase of products and you wont even be able to buy enough food for 2-3 weeks
Kayden Mitchell
>He comes from USA. They will not let him pass. you are giving our troops too much fucking credit, they are corrupt as fuck for the right price they'll do anything, ANYTHING
Levi Sanchez
>Yes I literally said we have to go to the black market The black market is the only market after the state breaks down.
If you have enough internet to come here and tell us what's going on, then do that above all else. Take pictures and videos to show the world what your life is like.

Redpill me on Chavez. Was he really that bad? I know he was a buffoon and all.
It does seem like Maduro is way more incompetent than Chavez.

Isaac Rogers
That sounds tasty
Joseph Morales
"Promises", or should I tell LIES, is what this government have truly given to the people. Nothing else. Yeah But I don't think that's what that guy had in mind. It would have to be enough and constant money, in order to make a profit out of it he would need to sell a lot of shit. And of course there's risk. Would be a lot more easy to sell that shit to army itself and then they will sell it here. Maduro is actually dumb, at least for his position. He's literally a puppet. Chavez was the one truly responsible for all this. So yeah, fuck Chavez. We mostly have soap and shampoo. We will trade it soon for toilet paper. I don't think is the same.
